That smiling little guy running round the floors on evergreen ave fills my memories of Anthony. It seems the lord brought him home in his own time. God has embraced his soul, it is the comfort we all pray to receive.
Deepest sympathies, Joanne and family. It breaks my heart to see this. I think of you all often.
